NOTED PIANIST:
Casadesus Praises Students
By CAROL PRINS
Entering his dressing room dur-
ing intermission of his Hill Audi-
torium concert Monday, Robert
Casadesus remarked "Listen to the
applause, isn't it wonderful."
The noted French pianist per-
formed a concert of Schumann
works in the Choral Union con-
cert. The typically Gallic virtuoso
explained that Schumann had
hundredth anniversary of the
one hundredth anniversary of the
famous composer is being cele-
brated this year.
"The same program was per-
formed in Italy, Scotland, Ger-
many and now the United States,"
Casadesus remarked.
Waving Cigarette
Waving his cigarette with ner-
vous gestures, the Parisian born
pianist continued "Chopin, Mozart
and Beethoven are all among my
favorite composers."
He smiled "Considering every-
thing, Mozart is the finest, the
string quality, orchestration, every-
thing is good. It is difficult to ex-
plain, it is something one feels."
Student audiences are the same
in California, in Ann Arbor and
New York, the greying Frenchman
said, his blue eyes sparkling.
"They are always the most re-
ceptive of my audiences."
Home at Princeton
Casadesus, his wife and three
children make their winter home
on the campus of Princeton Uni-
versity in Princeton, New Jersey.
Spring and summer find Casadesus=
In Europe, touring the continent,
teaching at the American Conserv-
atory in Fontainbleau or resting
at his home in Paris or in the
Alps.
It was natural for Casadesus to
enter a musical career since the
family has been famous in the cul-
tural life of France for generations.
Among these are Francois Louis
Casadesus, conductor, composer,
founder, and director of the Amer-
ican Conservatory of Fontaine-
bleau, Henri Gustave Casadesus,
founder and director of the Society
of Ancient Instruments and Marius

linist.

ROBERT CASADESUS-World
composer performed Schumann
all prizes. After graduating he
made successful tours of Europe,
North Africa and South America.
His American debut was made with
the New York Philharmonic Sym-
phony Orchestra in 1935.
When questioned about audi-
ences in different lands, the pian-
ist remarked, -"In Holland, Eng-
land and the United States, they
are all basically the same, rather
quiet and reserved. In Italy and
Spain, they are more nervous and
excitable."
Gesturing with his hand the
volatile Frenchman explained, "In
Europe, many people listen to
music in their homes. It is much
better to hear concerts in an audi-
torium such as this."
Perform Before Audience
He continued, "It is better for
the artist to perform before an+
audience, to feel the mood of the
audience and to sense their reac-
tion.
"One can always tell when they
are displeased," he chuckled.
When questioned about his
reknown concert pianist and
concert at Hill Aud. Monday.
nationwide tour, he smiled, "It is
probably the greatest joy in a
pianist's life to be so well received
in so many places."
Casadesus is a composer as well
as musician. His Double Concerto
for Two Pianos and Orchestra was
written especially for performance
by him and his wife, Gaby, who is
a soloist in her own right.
Officer of the Legion of Honor
from France and Commander of
the Order of Orange Nassau from
the Netherlands have been con-
ferred upon the pianist.
His critics have called his per-
formances "the most beautiful
piano playing of the century."
